TL;DR: The aim of this review is to summarize and provide the state of the art of research in this field, addressing aspects such as cell isolation protocols and characteristics of these cells, as well as providing preliminary indications of the possibilities for use ofThese cells in future clinical applications.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Dental pulp is an easily accessible and efficient source of MSCs, with different kinetics and differentiation potentialities from MSCS as isolated from the bone marrow, and the rapid proliferative capacity together with the immunoregulatory characteristics of DP-MSCs may prompt future studies aimed at using these cells in the treatment or prevention of T-cell alloreactivity in hematopoietic or solid organ allogeneic transplantation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Term amniotic membrane is a high throughput source for multipotent mesenchymal stem cells with the ability to differentiate into endothelial cells in vitro

TL;DR: AM-hMSCs may emerge as a remarkable tool for the cell therapy of multiple diseased tissues due to their angiogenic potential and may also pave the way for novel approaches in the development of tissue-engineered vascular grafts which are useful when vascularization of ischemic tissues is required.
Journal ArticleDOI
Common tasks in microscopic and ultrastructural image analysis using ImageJ.
Francesca Marzia Papadopulos,Matthew A Spinelli,Sabrina Valente,Laura Foroni,Catia Orrico,Francesco Alviano,Gianandrea Pasquinelli +6 more
TL;DR: The purpose of this paper is to show an alternative work method based on the usage of ImageJ, which can be effectively employed in solving common microscopic and ultrastructural image analysis tasks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hyaluronan mixed esters of butyric and retinoic Acid drive cardiac and endothelial fate in term placenta human mesenchymal stem cells and enhance cardiac repair in infarcted rat hearts.

TL;DR: The beneficial effects of HBR-exposed FMhMSCs may be mediated by a large supply of angiogenic and antiapoptotic factors, andFMhMSC differentiation into vascular cells, which may contribute to further development in cell therapy of heart failure.
